Looking for a Neurologist in the Boston area
« on: November 21, 2024, 03:23:05 pm »
I am looking for a neurologist in the Boston area that can help with post acoustic neuroma nerve issues. Specifically, the trigeminal nerve. The nerve is constantly in pain and I am unable to take the drug used for nerve pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I wanted to reply as I have experienced this past 6 years. Much to my surprise an MRI revealed that my trigeminal nerve was not affected by the AN. The ear and back of eye and face pain was TMJ! Wearing a dental mouth gurad has helped so much. Also full spectrum CBN at night for sleep and nerve pain. This was all I took for pain- tho I do still rub bit of Voltaren over that joint at times. I also use a face roller now at night- gently massage the area.

Dear mountaingirl,

I am in the Boston area. It can be hard to get into an MD.  You could try Mass. Eye and Ear since this is the result of surgery for an an.an.

MGH has a facial pain clinic  https://www.massgeneral.org/neuroscience/treatments-and-services/facial-pain-clinic

Hello,
I am also looking for a neurologist in the Boston area because recent stress in work and home life has me seemingly suffering from depression.
